Medea Benjamin, the anti-American co-founder of Code Pink, and notorious terrorist lover has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Five co-authors of Code Pink's latest book "Stop the next war now", a hysterical anti-war screed by radicals , have also been nominated for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize. They are:
Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Ca.)
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.)
Elise Marie Biorn-Hansen Boulding
Noeleen Heyzer and
Holly Near.
PING
It's not the REAL NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.
It's a fake on.
Oh Good Grief
Who nominated them?
From scrappleface, right?
BTW, the Nobel Prize Committee NEVER announces their nominees.
Oh good grief!
The Nobel Peace Prize has gone the same route as the Ford Foundation....
Both went down the toilet, with a left hand counter-clockwise swirl....
They're leftist nuts!
Semper Fi
Nonsense. Here is a headline from last year:
Bush, pope, among 2004 Nobel Peace Prize nominees
OSLO, Norway (AP) — The Nobel Peace Prize awards committee reported a record 173 nominations for 2004, with known candidates including President Bush, jailed Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu and the pope. Committee secretary Geir Lundestad said the preliminary list includes 129 individuals and 44 organizations, and is likely to be expanded when awards committee members forward their own nominations at their first meeting of the year on March 2.
It says they were nominated .. not that they are nominees
This is where it came from. Calcowgirl and I debunked this last week.

Copperheads!
SO basically this press release is to explain that Code Pink filled out a form???? ROLFMAO!!!
what's really ironic is that the guy who started and funded the Nobel Peace Prize was a capitalist who invented dynamite for WAR. Hee. Hee.
I suppose the "Committee" does not, but apparently other officials see nothing wrong in releasing names of people nominated. But these are not usually the final nominees.
Could be .. depends on who exactly nominted them .. *L*
I guess you didn't read the entire article YOU posted:
The five-member Norwegian awards committee keeps the names of nominees secret for 50 years, releasing only the number with no other information.
However, those nominating candidates often announce their choices, this year including Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair for protecting world peace; the European Union; French President Jacques Chirac; former Czech President Vaclav Havel; Pope John Paul II; former U.N. weapons inspectors Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei; Vanunu, for exposing his country's nuclear weapons program; Cuban dissident Oswaldo Paya; and U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar and former Sen. Sam Nunn for their Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, which is intended to dismantle nuclear weapons left over from the Soviet Union..
Lundestad said thousands of people, including member of any national legislature or government and many university professors, have nomination rights, so being proposed for the prize is no distinction in itself.
Well, I care about FACTS, don't you?
Does this mean that I can nominate myself for the prize?
